Custom Upper Alt bracket
Ok I normally don't bother with cosmetic stuff because it's impossible to keep it nice around here, but this is also more practical I think. So figured I'd share because I know some guys go ga ga for shiny stuff.
Basically one part you need to know(unless you really wanna make your own) and the rest you can fill in how you want, March Performance bracket 20140, Speedway Motors alum swedged rod 910-351-5.5(5.5" is the length), left & right rod ends and various hardware. Disclaimer on the length, I can't see why it'd be diff for others but yah never know. I really like not having the bracket using the same water pump bolt.
The serpentine belt pic is my 86 c4. I got the idea from people who deleted their smog pump. They use the same bracket but a more expensive March rod kit, the rod is SS but rod ends are not, I bought SS rod ends for my C3 and didn't have to use a spacer. You can see I did the hardware diff too. Plus if you shop for an alt bracket kit on ebay it's pretty much the C3 lower and a rod end upper.
Before any one ask about the inline filler neck, pricey but I was online n bored, plus tired of the other style I had leaking. So we'll see how it works! http://www.tefba.com/

Thanks for sharing and good looking engine bay. I have the 1976 upper at bracket and while it works it looks old and tired. Do you have the exact part numbers for what to order and if one wanted to mount it on the passengers side, would the mounting hardware that you have work?
